Blooms!

I did everything I could to dig this plant up last winter. I just did not like it. It was planted right in the middle of the back yard and I just did NOT want it there. Well I guess the roots must reach China because I could NOT dig it up so I just let it live.
As Gomer Pyle would say. "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!" Look in the center of the picture. Those little pale green things are FIGS. I was told that this fig plant never produced. Looks like I might be making some "Figgy pudding" this Christmas!
My Birdhouse gourds are up and thriving!

Scarlet red Crepe Myrtle blooms

My sage is finally growing! I love fresh sage in my dressing. Ever tried it?

Hello, Mr. Lincoln rose! mmm smells good!

Star shaped pumpkin bloom. These blooms are huge!

Summer is officially here. We are finally getting some drier, sunnier days and everything is growing like crazy! Our garden is finally looking like a real garden. The cucumbers are beginning to climb. The tomatoes are growing and need to be caged up. And we finally have corn plants up! Yay! Yesterday Hubby planted 9 Papershell Pecan trees ( I helped but he did all the hard work because he is so strong). We are hoping to have a small (maybe 20 trees) Pecan Grove for our retirement years. ewww! That makes me feel very old just typing that!
